It’s supposedly short for “centipedes”- see the Centipede Nation website that compiles all their garbage, or the glossary term “nimble navigator” on the RationalWiki for AltRight terminology… It came from some pro-Trump YouTube series they all latched onto.
But they truly could have chosen almost anything else to make themselves sound less like pedophiles, right?? I’m sure they somehow think it’s cute & clever.
"Q seems to be a group of people anonymously posting how a centuries old elite group of people leverage child trafficking as a form of blackmail in order to control politicians, celebrities, media, and money."
Wait a minute... I thought we all knew that QAnon is the fed labeling of it. Have another redpill, George...
"Pilling" a young woman? That's normally frowned on.
Is his girlfriend made of plastic?
Does he understand what he's saying when he refers to his girlfriend as "normie," as if being normal is the problem here?
Quote: "Q was just too outlandish for her to grasp." Does he know that "outlandish" is not a compliment? And that that statement questions her intelligence? (Though if he really has a girlfriend, I'd have to agree on this one.)
Coincidences do actually happen. There's nothing odd about it.
So, "she's not yet a pede like us." "Pede" sounds much like pedophile, unless you're using it to mean "foot?'
If girlfriend was profoundly changed by the movie, why is he the one doing the talking?
"[W]hen it comes time to reveal [Q's vast knowledge] to the wider public, what on earth makes him believe it will automatically be accepted as true by said wider public. Most of us have already heard about it anyway and do not believe it.
Oh, you know his brother who works in military intelligence knows all about Q! Probably he is one of the white hats working on behalf of Commander-in-Chief Donald Trump to save the world and free all of the children.

Or... his brother in military intelligence has had to sit through briefings where they were told various red flags to be on the lookout for among their fellow soldiers, like White Supremacist/Nazi signals, or QAnon nonsense, or a number of other things that might indicate they'll be trouble down the line.
I recently re read a kids' adventure novel that had been a real favourite of mine when I was a kid. (Geoffrey Trease's Cue for Treason, if you're interested - it's really very good) It's got elements that are very common in kids' adventure/mystery fiction - the clue that the conspirators leave laying around,, the same bad guy being responsible for all or most of the bad stuff, and powerful people being involved in the conspiracy so you don't know who to trust.
I read a lot of this stuff as a kid, and, as a kid, never noticed that the central incident - the finding of the clue - never made much sense in the real world. Because I was eleven, it never occurred to me to wonder why the bad guys would write all this down. Why they would go to the trouble of doing complicated things that could be discovered, rather than simple quiet things that would not.
I understand the pull of Qanon, because it's the same pull that books had on me when I was a preteen - big scary exciting stuff is happening, and I'm one of the few who can figure it out! Who didn't love that when they were a kid watching Scoobie Doo?
I remember even at 10 while reading the Sherlock Holmes stories that Professor Moriarty wasn't real. We got the daily paper which I always read. The crime reports in Section D were 99% "guy shot other guy over girl; guy stabbed other guy over dice; guy beat other guy to death over money". The rare occasional exceptions to this rule ran on page A1.
I have read that the very reason people latch onto conspiracy theories is more or less exactly what you say in your last paragraph -- bad, confusing things happen and it's a comfort to think it's all some big, shadowy plan done by big, shadowy people, but **you** and your fellow travelers have Secret Inside Information that lets you pierce the veil and see this stuff. You're not like them! You're special!
It also means that we can cut the Gordian knot. If all the evil in the world is created by a small group, it can be easily eliminated once discovered. World improvement made simple.
They call themselves "pedes"?

I'm thinking they didn't think that through very well
Right?

Not only does he have a girlfriend, but she’s a liberal.
And everybody clapped
Q is so 2019.
So little time, so many red flags.

These people need serious help. Maybe even institutionalization on an island far the fuck away from normies!
"... and I honestly don't expect her to remember even a quarter of what I showed her the last two nights, ..."
Well, that's kinda condescending. If this woman is real, she really needs to rethink her life choices.
Not real, most likely
She could be a real human, perhaps even one he's met, and she might someday be his gf.
Also, by far not the worst of her problems here.
Man, I had forgotten "Lars and the Real Girl". That movie was a trip.

Me: "Why did Trump not shut all this down in his four years in office?"
Q-dork: "He wanted to but [XYZ] stopped him."
Me: "So he was weaker than [XYZ]?"
Q-dork: [head explodes]
Every new crime reported by Q-dorks is an admission their man-god failed.
"the fact of the matter stands: if Q is real"
I got a Boner.
No
Wait
Sorry
No boner

Just look at all the right wingers telling us to "wake up" all the time. Unlike the rest of us, they know what's really happening in the world.
One opposite of "woke" is "comatose." That seems to fit these guys pretty well, mentally speaking.
This seems to work much the same way for some religious believers.
It also means that we can cut the Gordian knot. If all the evil in the world is created by a small group, it can be easily eliminated once discovered. World improvement made simple.
I am still trying to adjust to the shock of posting Comments instead of non-Comments.
But, even given that mental shift, does this guy sound like he is even marginally coherent?
An incel has a girlfriend? Stop right there.
I had not wondered about this, buy I am gad he did!
